In homes all around, yesterday was turkey time once again! We gathered around the table with thankful hearts to celebrate family, friends, and food (of course).

As believers, we know that we have reason to be thankful all year:All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.-2 Corinthians 4:15

While we celebrate a holiday warm to us all, take advantage of the opportunity to practice gratitude. Gratitude to God brings joy to our souls! 

Let us come before the Lord with thanksgiving, and be a testimony to those around us that we have great hope to rejoice in during every season. As we breathe in the grace of God daily in our lives, let us give back to Him a life of praise with grateful hearts full of His joy in every circumstance. 

By turning our beloved Thanksgiving holiday into a lifestyle, we share grace with a world that desperately needs it and start a chain of thankfulness that overflows all for God’s glory. 

Just as our plates overflowed with food, may our hearts overflow with gratitude to our good God — yesterday, today and everyday!
